commanders for its armies.
5. T F

8. T F
The French Emperor Napoleon III took advantage of America’s Civil War to invade Mexico and install
his puppet Emperor Maximilian as the ruler there.
9. T F
Abraham Lincoln’s lack of political experience in high administrative office made him less effective in
leading public opinion than the highly experienced Confederate president Jefferson Davis.
10. T F

treatment of citizens from all economic conditions.
11. T F
